[ despite what one might think, Fiora actually sleeps a lot - which means she's probably waking up after him, unless he's also into sleeping in. It's been a long weekend; she sits up with a tired stretch, accompanied by the sound of mechanical struts straining, and a yawn. ]
Ugh... Good morning, Alphonse... ?
[ . . . . . .
that's not Alphonse. she blinks, and is immediately on guard, despite her sleepiness. ]
[ Hua Cheng hasn't had to genuinely sleep in ( checks watch ) 800 years, and barely slept well in the 17 or so before that, so - he probably is awake before her, and has already taken stock of the situation. He's not pleased about having to cohabitate with another stranger.
He just got used to his last one! Give her back! ]
Not yelling. [ But he's not going to act mad about it. He looks up from his PHS, sitting cross-legged on the floor near the door. Too tall to sit up in his weird space bed. ] The Realm has decided to change a few things this morning.
[ yeah, she's just now realizing the entire room is different - mostly because she hits her leg with a loud clang on the side of the bed, which makes her jump again. ]
No kidding... [ sheepishly, she rubs the back of her head. ] Sorry, I didn't mean to yell. I just ... wasn't expecting to see you there.
[ and with everything that's just happened, she feared the worst for a moment. ]
Considering how the previous week went, I certainly can't fault the reaction.
[ The clang is interesting? Hello? But he doesn't call attention to it, just leans back against the wall to get a better look at her now that she's upright and not asleep. ]
I believe Alphonse is across the hall, now, judging by the plaques on the doors, and it looks like everyone was shuffled around in - whatever this is. [ He waves his hand to indicate all the SPACE. ]
[ A bark of a laugh, unapologetic but not necessarily unkind. ]
Mine was stuck, as well, so I've left it be for now. I think they jammed all of my things in there, including that "pillow pet" that we received on the first day.
[ 10/10 his work here is done if he's making girls laugh ]
We should. Considering the changes to the rooms, I'm interested in seeing what else the Realm has decided to throw at us. [ Hup - he rises to his feet properly, dusting himself off. ]
[ Imagining that this is at some point after the swamber party, where they've both slipped out - and he pauses, a moment, on his way through the inn lobby when he sees her.
And then Fiora will find Hua Cheng coming to join her. ]
[ she's just resting on one of the seats there - she's still got the drawing he did with her, rolled up safely at her feet. When he approaches, she seems a little surprised. ]

Yeah -- what is this? It feels like they shoved us in a broom closet.
[ glancing around. where did her stuff go!! there are a few drawers under her bed, so she crouches down, trying to pry one open. ]
My things better still be here.
no subject
I've never seen something like it before, so I don't have much for you there. There's only a shower in the attached room, as well, it seems.
[ He pulls a face, just a little. ]
Careful that it doesn't get stuck, I'm not sure how they managed to fit things in there.
no subject
I think you jinxed me.
[ ... well. she'll solve this problem at a later date. Fiora stands back up with a sigh and a shake of her head, turning around to face Hua Cheng. ]
You're... Hua Cheng, right? I don't think we've met - I'm Fiora.

[ rip to the ferret dianxia ]
En, that's right. Here's to however long we find ourselves rooming together, Fiora.
no subject
Same to you! I'll try not to snore.
no subject
I sleep like the dead, so it's fine. [ He doesn't actually he's making a ghost joke. ] I don't think we'll have too much trouble.
no subject
Good! Well... Should we check and see if anything else has changed? If we're in a completely different place, I might throw a fit, but...

Hua Cheng? Did you forget something?
